As you all know, earlier I have announced that there will be only non-monetary prizes for the Reader Appreciation week, and I was really happy to see that it didn’t spoil the great spirit of this community’s readers. However I’ve received a generous proposal that Godfather would’ve called an “offer you can’t refuse” - Reader Appreciation Project is willing to sponsor one of my prizes for up to $50 USD.

So my question to you is would it be okay to have only one monetary prize for Inspiration Bit contests during the Reader Appreciation Week despite my original announcement? What is your opinion on that? With your approval, on April 5th I will announce a new contest and decide on a prize.

Don’t forget that there’s still time left for the Second Contest with Inspiration Bit. I look forward to getting more non-monetary prize suggestions from you.

Thank you all and Good Luck.

  1. LGR

    I like cash prizes so I have no problem with it. Maybe I’ll win and can use it to pay my prize over at Video Rambler.
